The advantages and disadvantages of Using Botox

Many people are opting for Botox injections to smooth out wrinkles and reverse the ravages of pollution, the Sun, and the effects of aging.

Once Botox is injected into the muscles it takes approximately 10 days for the full result and will usually last 3-5 months.

While the price can vary, it is usually affordable. After that, you need to make an appointment to have the injections repeated in order to maintain the wrinkle free look.

Make sure the person doing the injecting is certified and qualified to do the procedure.
Don’t be afraid to ask to see the certification paperwork of the person who is going to be doing the injections.
